Could free money for everyone promote resilience?
More and more people on all sides of the political arena are talking about the idea of a Citizens’ or Basic Income. This is an income unconditionally granted to everyone, without means test or work requirement – a form of minimum income guarantee. In a world where there are no longer enough full-time jobs, the idea of paying everyone a basic income to every citizen as a right will promote cooperative working, creativity, adult education and flexibility in the labour market.
A meeting to discuss how a Basic Income could promote community resilience will be hosted by Transition Town Bridport. Caroline Walker will make a presentation and lead a discussion.
St John’s Ambulance Hall, Rax Lane, Bridport on Thursday 10 March at 7.00. Entry £3.00 or LETs, free for the unwaged.
